Road & Infrastructure
Construction Expertise

Road construction in Jordan demands more than earthworks and asphalt. In a Kingdom where terrain ranges from the Jordan Valley's depths to the highlands above Amman, where urban traffic cannot be stopped for construction, and where structural loads on bridges must withstand generations of use — road infrastructure requires engineering skill of the highest order.

CEC has delivered road and infrastructure projects across Jordan since the 1980s. From the city bridges that carry Amman's daily traffic to water-course crossings and major intersection upgrades, our infrastructure team brings the technical depth and site management discipline that complex road works demand.

Holding First Grade classification in Infrastructure Works under Jordan's national contractor classification system, CEC is eligible for — and consistently wins — the Kingdom's most complex and high-value road and bridge tenders. We work directly with Jordan's Ministry of Public Works and Housing, Greater Amman Municipality, and international development finance institutions funding Jordan's infrastructure programme.

CEC's road and infrastructure capability is backed by a demonstrated project record. It is demonstrated by the structures that carry Jordan's citizens every day: the Al-Haramain Bridge, the Safeway Bridge at the 7th Circle, the Middle East Tunnel, and Al Madinah Tunnel at Zahran — among many others across the Kingdom.

What We Build

  • Highway & Arterial Roads — Design-build and build-only delivery of multi-lane highways, dual carriageways, and arterial road networks including drainage, signage, and landscaping.
  • Bridge Engineering — Reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, and composite bridge structures for road crossings, wadi spans, and grade-separated interchanges.
  • Urban Tunnels — Cut-and-cover and bored tunnel construction in live urban environments, including temporary traffic management, waterproofing, and internal MEP systems.
  • Grade-Separated Intersections — Complex multi-level intersection design and construction in high-traffic urban areas, including flyovers and underpass structures.
  • Retaining Structures — Reinforced concrete retaining walls, gabion walls, and soil nailing for road embankments and cut slopes in Jordan's varied terrain.
  • Road Drainage — Storm water management systems, culverts, and wadi flood channel construction integrated with road works.
  • Road Surface Works — Asphalt surfacing, base course installation, road markings, and traffic safety infrastructure.
  • Infrastructure Rehabilitation — Structural assessment and repair of existing bridges, tunnel refurbishment, and road surface renewal.

Road Construction Technical
Standards & Approach

Working in Live Urban Environments

Amman's road infrastructure projects present unique engineering challenges that distinguish CEC's approach from straightforward highway construction. Jordan's capital is a densely developed city built across rolling terrain — meaning that road construction almost always occurs in close proximity to existing buildings, active utilities, and high-traffic road corridors.

CEC's infrastructure team has extensive experience in phased construction sequencing, temporary traffic management, shoring and excavation in confined spaces, and coordination with Greater Amman Municipality to minimise disruption while maintaining construction momentum. The Middle East Tunnel and Al Madinah Tunnel projects are prime references for this technical capability.

Bridge Design & Construction Methodology

CEC's bridge engineering approach is founded on durability, structural redundancy, and maintenance economy. In Jordan's climate — with significant temperature variation, occasional seismic activity, and the challenging ground conditions of the Jordan Valley — bridge structures must be designed and built to perform for a service life of 75–100 years with minimal maintenance intervention.

Our structural engineers and site teams are experienced in:

  • Post-tensioned and pre-tensioned concrete bridge girders
  • Cast-in-situ reinforced concrete box girders
  • Pile foundations in difficult soil conditions
  • Expansion joints, bearings, and drainage systems for long-term performance
  • Bridge monitoring and load testing upon completion

Compliance with Jordan Standards

All CEC road construction works comply with Jordan's applicable design and construction standards, including:

  • Ministry of Public Works and Housing road design guidelines
  • Jordan Institution for Standards and Metrology (JISM) material specifications
  • AASHTO bridge design standards (referenced in major Jordanian projects)
  • Eurocodes where specified by international clients
  • Greater Amman Municipality infrastructure technical specifications

Quality & Safety Management

Road and bridge construction is among the highest-risk construction activity in Jordan. CEC operates comprehensive Health, Safety, and Quality management systems on all infrastructure sites, including:

  • Daily toolbox talks and site safety inductions
  • Independent material testing through certified laboratories
  • Traffic management plans approved by GAM and MoPWH
  • Structural inspection protocols at every critical construction stage
  • Formal defect liability and maintenance handover procedures

CEC's infrastructure projects carry zero recorded fatalities in our 49-year operational history — a record we protect through rigorous site management discipline.

CEC provides highway construction, bridge engineering, urban tunnel works, grade-separated intersection construction, retaining structures, road drainage systems, asphalt surfacing, and road infrastructure rehabilitation across Jordan. All works are delivered to First Grade classification standards.
CEC's bridge portfolio includes the Al-Haramain Bridge in Amman and the Safeway Bridge/Intersection at Amman's 7th Circle, among others. These are multi-span reinforced concrete structures carrying significant traffic volumes in the heart of Amman's urban network.
Yes. CEC has constructed the Middle East Tunnel and Al Madinah Tunnel, both in Amman. These urban tunnel projects required complex phased construction in live traffic environments, with detailed coordination with Greater Amman Municipality throughout.
Yes. CEC holds First Grade classification in Infrastructure Works, which is the highest designation under Jordan's national contractor classification system. This qualifies CEC to bid on and execute all government road, bridge, and tunnel contracts without financial or technical value limits.
CEC prepares detailed Traffic Management Plans (TMP) for all road works in urban areas, coordinated with Greater Amman Municipality and the Ministry of Public Works and Housing. Phased construction sequencing, temporary diversions, signage, and night-shift working are employed as appropriate to minimise disruption while maintaining construction progress.
Road construction costs in Jordan vary significantly by project type. Urban road upgrades typically range from JD 500,000 to JD 5 million; major bridges from JD 3 million to JD 20 million; and tunnels from JD 8 million to JD 30+ million depending on length, ground conditions, and internal fit-out requirements.
